The property was absolutely beautiful. The riverwalk is a beautiful small trail around the 10 acre property. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The onsite restaurant offers a wonderful variety of farm to table type foods. Plenty of spaces to relax. Rooms are beautiful, clean and cozy. Would highly recommend this hotel.

It felt like being at a summer camp. The grounds are well maintained, the staff were amazing and we were treated like royalty. You walk a winding path to your cabin and it is in nature. We saw many monkeys on the property and it was great to wake up to bird song.

Beautiful room, nice surroundings, good restaurants/bars, staff very helpful. Also spa services available. Only minus is the lack of AC in the room, only fan on the celling, but for this time of the year it was bearable.

Beautiful restful stay after 2 days of air travel. The Riverhouse and property were gorgeous, historic and restful. My 2 teenage daughters and I appreciated the kind hospitality and delicious food. Abdullah expertly drove us to and from the airport. Mitchelle and the front desk were excellent hosts and we enjoyed a walking tour of the property. Thank you!!!

This was our meeting place for a night (although we spent several night before) prior to a Nat Geo Great Migration Safari in Tanzania. The staff were friendly, helpful and all around best. The could not do enough for us. It was a delightful stay.

Rivertrees is a magical oasis of cottages nestled among the dense forest. A perfect place for R&R either before or after a safari (or both as we did). The staff is so so nice too.
